so mikey any chance that they'll b at the dandy cruise??

Posted: **Fri Jun 18, 2004 10:09 am**

I'll be writing a formal invitation to the SPEED crew to attend our charity event at Mt Dandy later today... Will let y'all know of the outcome as soon as they get back to us.

Update: At the moment we are looking at two things.

The first one will be that SPEED will be coming to one of our events, either in Sydney, or Melbourne, or small chance of both, the intention will be a story similar to the recent SkylinesAustralia, BMW club and WRX NSW club run/show coverage that SPEED has run in the past few issues, for any readers. This feature should be around 5 pages.

The second part will be:

As promised to Boris, we'll endeavour to shoot and run at least one cool FTO feature car to run in the magazine as soon as possible (at this stage, for issue 15)

So atm, Mikey has sent some links of Mallacoota, and some member cars, I will be sending all the stuff people have sent me on Sunday night to Curt, for him to choose an fto to feature, so people if you wish, please send my your stuff before Sunday night.

we already have about a dozen+ confirmed attendees for the RCH Charity event, so for those who missed out on the club feature shoot with HOT4s, this is your last chance to get your car into a magazine LoL...

i strongly recommend those who really want to participate in this event to vote in the poll on the cruise thread (if you haven't already done so) coz I can have a better idea of the numbers that will be attending so it's easier for me to organise food/drinks etc etc...

your co-operation is much appreciated!

Quick Update People.
Monday I sent all the stuff that was e-mailed to me, and today I got a short reply from Curt.

Hi mate,

Awesome stuff. Just running late on deadline so I'll go through this next week and we'll get something up.

Cheers,

So, yeah, so you guys know...

I guess me or Mikey will keep you guys informed, about the Club Cruise Feature, and the FTO Feature...

hmmm... just wondering, isnt SPEED magazine based on modified performance cars? i reckon they wouldnt put anything that doesnt have a turbo or supercharger. At least the publicity for the club would be good.
Looking forward for the Dandy cruise.

Hope it doesnt rain!

speed is a modified performance car mag but since when did all performance cars need to be turbo? The mag has done featured on BMW's and honda's a little.

Hi Boris
Just wondering if you have heard from Speed Magazine

Posted: **Fri Jul 16, 2004 12:05 pm**

No, sorry haven't heard from them.

Maybe Mikey has, because he may of sent them an e-mail regarding the postponed date of the VIC event. So I have no idea if SPEED is coming to the VIC Meet.

However, some good news exist, because I got Issue 14 yesterday and our club has been added to their list of clubs on the last page of the magazine.

Posted: **Fri Jul 16, 2004 12:29 pm**

man you got 14 already?? is that the issue after the one with the drift s15 on the cover?

Posted: **Fri Jul 16, 2004 12:35 pm**

Ye.

Issue 14 is green, with a blue 2.5L Scuby on it. Also SPEED now comes out every 6 weeks instead of every 2 months.

There is a Evo VI in this issue that can get 694kW & 912Nm...

Posted: **Fri Jul 16, 2004 12:37 pm**

man, better get my issue 13 before they send it back

I spoke to Mikey on Mon or Tue nite, he said he haven't heard from SPEED yet.

I guess SPEED haven't reply yet, or he would of put up a post by now.

speed also loves to cover club events and things too, they have a fairly good list of car clubs in the back of the mag too!

i think its all about import support

also, they do review stock import cars have done r 32, supra tt and a few others from ememory

Posted: **Mon Jul 19, 2004 6:41 pm**

instead of hosting an event ehtiehr in syd or melb, why not have both, and meet up at malacoota again

Posted: **Wed Aug 04, 2004 6:15 pm**

Well, quick update, some of you probably already know this, but for others, SPEED came along to the VIC event for a feature in their magazine. Looks like we will be seeing some fto's finnaly in SPEED.

Hi Boris,

Finally got that Vic FTO cruise in the bag. Only nine cars showed up!!! Oh well. Speed's first FTO story is not too far away

Cheers,

well i can assure you more than 9 cars turned up - most likely because they lost count!

Posted: **Fri Aug 06, 2004 8:52 pm**

so which edition of speed will it be in? The next one? Good news though, was it a good report. I was proud to see the site mentioned in the club thing in the back. Good work guys!
